▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Good morning everyone,

Welcome to Afritunes week 60. Today I will be doing a cover of the song Papa by Johnny Drille. First of all, Johnny Drille is one of my favorite artist in Nigeria. I'm a huge fan of his music. He's such a beautiful song writer with an amazing voice. This particular song has a mixed feeling with me. I love the lyrics, composition and rhythm but whenever I listen to it, it usually makes me emotional. The song is a tribute to his father. How amazing he is and how much he cares for him. I don't have a father so whenever I hear the song, it makes me wish I have one.

Nevertheless, I'm blessed with an amazing grandfather who is so caring. I get to experience little of the fatherly love through him. He's always calling to check up on me and he takes care of me the little way he can. I'd say im fortunate to have him in my life.

I sing this song as a shootout to every responsibile fathers out there, you guys rock. Taking care of the family isn't a small thing to do and most times, father's rolesare overlooked compared to mothers. You guys are amazing and I pray you eat the fruit of your labour.

I accompanied the song with an instrumental I generated here.

LYRICS

Papa
He calls me to pray
He tells the Lord
To watch over me
Oh my papa
He can like to say
As you go away
Don't forget where you came

If you lose your way you can pray
Don't be afraid, don't lose faith
You will find your help, there'll be a way
Just remember to pray and you'll be okay

Papa
He calls everyday
He asks me son
I hope you're doing okay
Oh my papa
He too dey fear say I gho go astray
Cos I walk a stranger land
And my home is so far away

Papa says if you lose your way you can pray
Don't be afraid don't lose faith
You will find your help there'll be a way
Just remember to pray and you'll be okay

Me sef dey pray for Papa
Make him find more strength and grace
And may the good Lord keep him longer
In Jesus name

If you lose your way you can pray
Don't be afraid, don't lose faith
You will find your help, there'll be a way
Just remember to pray

If you lose your way you can pray
Don't be afraid, don't lose faith
You will find your help, there'll be a way
Just remember to pray and you'll be okay
You can pray
Don't be afraid, don't lose faith
You will find your help, there'll be a way
If you remember to pray

Sorry about your dad 😔
Johnny Drille's lyrics are always rich. It's one thing I have noticed.

The audio output of your rendition wasn't bad, and you sang the song well.

Fathers are indeed amazing...Your grandpa is awesome too

You are shining as well

I hope you have a lovely day sis.

Father's are amazing beings especially when they're responsible. I don't have a father neither do I have a grandfather, so I can relate to how you feel. You're even lucky to have a grandad 😁.

You're so good at what you do!! Your voice is exceptional and I'm happy to hear from you again 🤗🤗.....
